Testing a water pill to reduce leftover kidney stone fragments
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study tests whether using a “water pill” called furosemide during a flexible scope procedure helps leave fewer kidney-stone fragments behind. It may help reduce the chance of needing additional treatment later.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if using a flexible tube with a laser (FURS) plus special suction (FANS) is better for breaking up and removing stones from the lower part of the kidney. It may help you if you have stones there and are scheduled for a procedure.
This trial tests a new device called VISOR to help break up kidney stones using a flexible tube and laser. It's for adults aged 18–80 with stones between 1 and 3 cm who haven't had previous kidney surgery.
This study looks at how well a specific thin camera tool (the LithoVue Elite) works during ureteroscopy and laser treatment for kidney stones. It may help surgeons improve how effectively stones are cleared and how the procedure goes.
This trial tests a supplement called Neorenal Forte to help clear tiny leftover kidney stone pieces after laser surgery. If you have small fragments left after your procedure, this study may help you get rid of them.
This study tests whether the water pill furosemide can help remove certain toxins from the blood in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD stages 3-5) who are starting this medicine as part of their regular care.
This study compares two ways of breaking up small kidney stones (less than 2 cm) using a thin flexible scope: fragmentation (breaking into pieces) or dusting (turning into powder). The goal is to see which method clears stones better. If you have a small kidney stone and are healthy enough for the procedure, this trial might help decide the best treatment for you.
